JON LORD -ALL THOSE YEARS AGO
A limited edition book, vinyl single, DVD, art print presented in a beautiful
presentation box and slipcase.
Full details to be confirmed.
Released Dec 2013.

Rufus Stone limited Editions is proud
to announce a new, lavishly produced photobook on the life and career of the
late Jon Lord. Currently in production, the book will feature exclusive, never
before seen, personal family photographs, contributions from Jon's colleagues,
friends and family, unpublished professional images and new, previously
unreleased music and a live DVD.

At Rufus Stone we always wanted to
produce a large format, mostly photographic book of Jon Lords incredible and
respected career in the music industry. Jon's illness put this plan on hold but
though he is no longer with us to contribute in person, it has been
decided by Vicky Lord to produce a book, with the family,
friends and musicians who worked with him through out his life, all contributing
personal material and memories. The book is designed to be a massive
photographic celebration of Jon's life and work, and will contain much
rare and personal material from his early days (before he became a professional
musician), through the Artwoods, and of course Deep Purple and beyond. His
time in PAL and Whitesnake are also covered, and naturally his many
orchestral projects. Recently discovered images taken by Jon himself during his
touring days in Deep Purple will also be included.

As well as the book, previously
unreleased music from Jon is also being included, and one track in particular
called All Those Years Ago has inspired the title of the project. More
never before released music, visuals and artifacts will be added to make
this a true celebration of Jon Lord's life.

Although some of the material sourced
for the book will be from professional photographers, it is appreciated that
fans may wish to contribute memorabilia or images taken over the years
at concerts and we will be happy to look at any material. Please see
the panel below if you wish to contribute. People interested in the book and
the project can keep up to date with email newsletters by subscribing using
the form on the right, and receive pre-publication information.

Details of the final format for the book
will be announced before long. It is currently hoped to launch the title
at the end of this year. Plans to have a blue heritage plaque unveiled on
Jon's family home in Leicester are well advanced. In April 2014 a
special memorial concert is being held at The Royal Albert Hall in London as a
further celebration of Jon's music and life.

The book is being put together by Rufus
Stone Limited Editions, who published the much admired Deep Purple California
Jam title in January 2012, a project Jon was able to assist with and was enthused by.
